QP Paper Doll Cutting Files

I created a Paper Doll, “QP Paper Doll” because I remember the fun I had playing with paper dolls when I was growing up. My sister and I would play for hours. I adored paperdolls and had a wonderful set called “Kewpie Dolls” when I was about 5 years old and thought what a funny co-incidence- and made my own “QP” dolls.
My grandmother used to buy them for me every birthday and Christmas, she also bought me a little doll and knitted the most wonderful clothes for it. They were beyond adorable and must have takem her hours and hours. The doll was about 5 inches high with green hair and had about 2 dozen different outfit. Wedding gowns and outfits from around the world were a favourite. Back then the rage was to knit or sew Barbie outfits and she had made my sister and hundreds over the years. I really treasured then and would love to have hung to them. When I told my grandmother how much I loved in my later years she went out and bought a pattern to knit some interesting topsy turvy dolls for my own daughter.
and we have several. She died about 2 month after she made Liz ( then 6 years old) a beautiful Cinderella doll and even my son admires it.

I am designing and sharing these paper dolls in memory of my wonderful grandmother who will have been gone 10 years next week.
I hope other grandmothers will make as many wonderful memories as she did for me 🙂 She would have loved me creating and sharing these !!!
One of the crafty grandmothers on my cutting file list is designing outfits for her grand-daughter (Sheila) and has also been contributing paper doll outfits to share ( Old Hippy, Stylin Grandma, Bo Peep_)
Sheila is cutting the files out of vinyl and making a traveling paper doll set for her own granddaughter. I am goin to see if I can do this with cuttable magnet sheets.
I add new Paper Doll files often so be sure to check back !
Please feel free to make a suggestion for a new doll in comments or email me directly, lisa@quillingpatch.com

Other crafters have also been designing outfits and sharing here. Sheila used Inkscape and Chris has been using Robo Master. I would love to build a big collection to share. You can design your own outfit using the original QP paper doll cutting file as your template.
Hope you enjoy these paper dolls as much as I did designing them!
